This interview was conducted by Meredith Dubuque with Mabel Albrecht on April 4, 1986 at her home near Heimdal, N.D. The interview concerns her life including family background and growing up on farm near Drake, N.D., attending school including going by horse-drawn bus, Christmas memories, World War I and World War II memories, her courtship and marriage and farm life near Heimdal, N.D., coming of electricity and various electric appliances, her involvement with the local homemakers club, and finally her comparisons of past and current social trends.

This interview transcript, one of many done by volunteers across North Dakota, was donated to the Institute for Regional Studies as part of the North Dakota Extension Homemakers Council’s Memories of North Dakota Homemakers Oral History Project records (Mss 262). Portions of the interviews were used in the Council���s three volume Memories of North Dakota Homemakers, published in 1988-1990, of which Arlene Sagness was editor and project director. It is not known who developed this original transcript, perhaps done by the interviewer Freda Reddig of Cathay, N.D. Very little editing, other than formatting, has been done to this transcript version by the Institute staff.
